This is a really nice place to come and visit. I can't decide whether it is a bar , club, night…read moreclub, dance hall, karaoke bar, or some other sort of government club venue or all of the above. I just know it deserves 5 stars. You don't have to have been in the military to join. For example, my father was in the military so I can be a member via a sons of the American legion. Furthermore, you might can become a member just by having an interest in the military. You can just talk to the commander and or the adjutant. They have the lottery here too. Although, I wasn't a winner you can play while at the bar or a table. They have TVs in here too so you can watch sports. As far a beer is concerned, you can get droughts on tap for as low as $2. I have eaten here before and their food is great tasting. There is also some great benefits of joining. For instance, you can save money on vacations by staying at resorts instead of cheap hotels.

I've been in the Navy for almost 19 years. Eleven years of that time has been spent in the…read morereserves. Last month I finally decided to stop by our local Post and join up. I walked in around lunch time and announced that I wanted to join. They asked for my 214 and I proudly presented my ID card and within a few minutes I was in the club. If you're a veteran and meet the qualifications I highly recommend joining a local American Legion.

My steak cooked perfectly and the potato was great. The karaoke was good too. This being a private club the smoke is a little heavy but that's okay. The fellowship with fellow veterans is what it's about. Join your local veterans organization and come eat the steak!

A great little small town post with just the best guys. There isn't an official auxiliary, that I…read moreknow of, but the spouses and families really support the post. There are wealthier VFWs, some with bars etc, but you won't find a finer bunch of humans than these. It's the kind of post, and people, that you want to support. Salt of the earth, if you will.

Are you kidding me?…read more These folks have cookouts, Friday Fish Fry, a bunch of us guys in funny hats with pins all over them, and families (auxiliary, maybe?) seem to be very active too. Having been to more than a few posts, this is the best kind. Full disclosure, I was hooked in the parking lot from the smell of meat charring on the grill. Listen, if you've never been to a VFW or Legion Hall in a friendly Southern town about this size, and you have the chance, you'd be mistaken to pass it up, in my opinion. Pro-Tip: come early on food nights.

These people will lie to you, not return your calls and make up fake paperwork!…read moreI was told that my case was turned over to the appeals council after my disability was denied. Ken Butler agreed that what the judge wrote in my denial letter was confusing and thought that the judge must have my file/case was mixed up with someone else's. I jumped through all the hoops, had a journal from the beginning of my case, wrote down everything that was inconsistent about my case and gave it to Ken at my local library, which is where we always met. The next week I tried to call Ken and couldn't get an answer even after leaving messages at the office and texting him. Finally he called me back and I said I have more to add to my appeal. He explained that it was already turned in and that it could be 3-18 months before I get an answer. At 14 months, I called social security and they said that no appeal was filed on my case. I sent Ken another text stating this. A week later I get a 'copy' of a letter saying that he didn't feel that the judge would have any reason to overturn my denial. It wasn't even signed. (FYI..the judge AND the vocational expert both agreed at the end of my hearing that there were no jobs that I could do in my condition). He is a liar and possibly cost me thousands of dollars in back pay because it's now too late to reapply. I would not recommend this smooth talking so called religious man to take on a disability case. I don't know why he dismissed me with the evidence that I had. The things the judge stated in my denial letter were nowhere near my case and Ken knew it. I believe he lost my paperwork somehow and made up a fake letter to cover his ass.
